You can view the same log that would be in /var/log/rhn/reposync at:
Channels -> Manage Software Channels -> (your-channel-here)
And scroll down to the "Associated Yum Repository" and click the time -
at least, if it's started yet.

To see if it's still pending, you have one option, I think: a sql query:
SQL> select * from rhnTaskQueue ;

Also, taskomatic must be running for the reposyncs to take place, so if
there are any errors in /var/log/rhn/rhn_taskomatic_daemon.log, that
might point you in the right direction.  The reposync tasks get checked
for at the top of every minute in the default configuration:
/etc/rhn/default/rhn_taskomatic.conf and search for RepoSyncTask.schedule .

Hope to help,

Josh
